Alterations


I noticed how I had accidentally set the article introduction page to the wrong size, so made a few alterations with the sizing to make it the correct double page spread size. I also did a few things like adding a shadow to the 'Exclusive Interview With...' to make it easier to read.

Further adding on to make it look more interesting to look at

Posting process from a while later. I managed to place the article in nicely with the columns and margins options, and have started to add extras such as the title at the top saying 'the time is now'

I made the questions from the interviewer in blue so that they stand out against the rest of the black text.
I wrapped the text around the quote in the middle to make it stand out, this is a usual convention in any sort of article really.

Did the same steps and added a few extra images of the band, they're not 'professional' images - to go with the idea they are fun people and are good friends with each other and are happy, rather than people thinking they're serious all the time

 I used the rectangle frame tool to place the picture on the left-hand side page

I created the base of the article, there is lots of new tools and such but hopefully if i play around for a bit I should get the hang of it.

Next I will be starting my article, but I have decided to create it on the program called 'indesign' rather than photoshop because it is more accurate and precise for creating things like articles. It will be my first time using it but I will try my best as the results will hopefully end up looking okay.
